D - Hey (me), can you help me upgrade my 2 demo systems?

(me) - sure D, but just so you know, i'm kinda new on this product and haven't upgraded the OS before either.  but we can get help from engineering or IT if needed.

D - ok.  first we need to find where they racked the boxes.

(me) - oh?

D - yeah, i gave them to IT to rack for me

(me) - <goes and hunts up IT monkey #1> 

Monkey #1 - huh?  no, i haven't heard about it.

(me) - <goes back to D>

(me) - D, which IT Monkey did you give it to? 

D - uh, Monkey #2

(me) - <could have SWORN he said Monkey #1 last time, but ok>

(me) - <goes and hunts up IT monkey #2>

Monkey #2 - huh?  no, i haven't heard about it.

(me) - <goes to beat D to a pulp, but D is wisely not at his desk>

 

(me) <via email>:

    Dear D,

    Let me know when you find your systems.  I give up.

this reminds me of a bash.org quote (http://bash.org/?5273):

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
